Will the Firestone Air Helper Springs Work with a B&W Gooseneck Hitch on a 2007 Dodge Ram 3500

Question:

Hello,, I have a 2007 Dodge Ram 3500 Diesel 6.7 quad cab longbed Dually with the BandW turn over ball hitch installed. I am looking at the Firestone #2299 Ride Rite air bags. Are there any issues with this setup being I have the BandW turnover ball hitch already? Thank you

I took a look at how both the B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch part # BWGNRK1313 and Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs part # F2299 install on your 2007 Dodge Ram 3500. I can confirm that they will work with one another as the brackets for the gooseneck hitch install on the outer frame rail and the brackets for the airbags install under the frame rail and will not interfere with one another.

The kit comes with two manual inflation valves that will require access to an external compressor to inflate. If you would like to eliminate the need for an external compressor and add the ability to inflate the bags from inside the cab of your vehicle, I recommend a compressor kit like the Firestone Air Command I part # F2097.

I have attached an install video of the airbags on a similar 2013 Dodge Ram for you as well.
